You Owe Me, My Love

After confirming that the woman in the tub was indeed Bai Rong, Gu Mingchen’s eyes clouded with deep yearning as the mist from the bath blurred his features.

How long had it been since he last saw her?

It had been 65 days.

So many days had passed without her. They had first met in summer, but who would’ve thought that their next meeting would be in the middle of autumn.

“How have you been?” Gu Mingchen’s hoarse voice squeezed through his tight throat.

Bai Rong unconsciously glanced at his broken pinky and her eyes moistened further.

She couldn’t hide the waves of emotions in front of him, hence she turned away from the man and replied coldly, “I don’t think this is the right time to reminisce about the old days. Don’t fall into the trap of others.”

“I’m already inside the trap. There’s no escaping now.” Gu Mingchen sat beside the tub, his gaze lingering on the girl with no intention to leave. “You’re skinnier now.”

“I thought skinny beauty is the trend now?”

“I think you look better with more flesh.” Gu Mingchen replied.

Bai Rong lowered her head in embarrassment. Chatting while being naked with him was extremely awkward for her.

For their current relationship, they were not even supposed to chat with each other, let alone doing so while being naked.

“I’m coming out.” Bai Rong replied, her eyes flickered around embarrassingly.

“I’ll wait outside.” Gu Mingchen turned to leave.

As he left, the girl could smell the strong odor of liquor on him.

She had thought that she would be the only occupant of this room, hence she did not bring in her new clothes after removing her worn ones outside the bathroom.

The girl stood up to reach for the towel when Gu Mingchen entered the bathroom once again with her luggage. His deep-set eyes lingered broodingly at the embarrassing view.

The poor girl froze mid motion at his sudden intrusion.

Gu Mingchen was the first one to regain his composure and averted his eyes.
